Playing career edit
Johnsson was selected 286th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, the last pick in that draft. After playing two seasons with the Rangers, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on August 20, 2001, along with Jan Hlaváč, Pavel Brendl, and a 3rd-round pick in exchange for Eric Lindros. After four seasons with the Flyers, Johnsson signed a four-year contract with the Minnesota Wild on July 1, 2006. On February 12, 2010, Johnsson and Nick Leddy were traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for Cam Barker. He played 8 regular season games for Chicago before getting injured. Johnsson missed the remaining 14 regular season games and all 22 playoff games because of a concussion. While the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup that year, Johnsson did not play 41 games for Chicago, and Chicago did not request his name be included among the 52 names engraved on the Stanley Cup.[citation needed] Johnsson never played again after suffering his concussion.[citation needed]
As of 2020, Johnsson has returned to private life. Scott Powers of The Athletic attempted to reach Johnsson, but he declined an interview via his agent.[1]
International play edit
Played for Sweden in the 2002 Winter Olympics.
